Fotheringay: Nothing More (The Collected Fotheringay) 2015

 

Fotheringay was a short-lived British folk rock group, formed in 1970 by singer-songwriter and musician Sandy Denny on her departure from Fairport Convention. The band drew its name from her 1968 composition "Fotheringay" about Fotheringhay Castle, in which Mary, Queen of Scots

had been imprisoned. The song originally appeared on the 1969 Fairport Convention album, What We Did on Our Holidays, Denny's first album with that group. The original Fotheringay released one self-titled album but disbanded at the start of 1971 as Denny embarked on a solo career. Forty-five years later, a new version of the band re-formed featuring the three original surviving members together with other musicians, and toured in 2015 and 2016. 
                           

When Sandy Denny departed Fairport Convention, insisting that she wanted to concentrate upon her own songwriting rather than pursue the band's exploration of traditional English music, she

never meant she also intended abandoning the folk idiom itself. Although all but two of the songs on this, her first post-Fairport project, are indeed original compositions, it is readily apparent that, like former bandmate Richard Thompson, her greatest talents lay distinctly within the same traditions as the poets and balladeers of earlier centuries, while the fact that fully one-half of Fotheringay itself would eventually join Fairport illustrates the care that went into the band's formation. 
                            

Two former members of Eclection, guitarist Trevor Lucas and drummer Gerry Conway, and two former members of Poet and the One Man Band, Jerry Donahue (guitar) and Pat Donaldson (bass), completed the line-up responsible for what was intended to be the quintet's first album. This folk-

based set included several Denny original compositions, notably "Nothing More", "The Sea" and "The Pond and The Stream", as well as versions of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel" (#71 Canada) and Bob Dylan's "Too Much of Nothing". Though during the year of its original release the album featured in two of the UK's music papers' Top 20s (Melody Maker and NME), it did not meet commercial expectations, and pressures on Denny to undertake a solo career increased. She had been voted Britain's number 1 singer for two consecutive years in Melody Maker's readers poll. The album peaked at No. 18 in the UK Albums Chart.
                        

Fotheringay disbanded in January 1971 during sessions for a projected second album. The album remained unfinished after Denny announced that she was leaving the group and producer Joe Boyd left to

take up a job at Warner Brothers in California. Denny would later blame Boyd's hostility towards the group for its demise.  While Fotheringay's work proved to be interesting and beguiling, the band nevertheless broke up, with Denny going on to launch a solo career. She also sang in duet with Robert Plant on Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore," becoming the only guest vocalist to perform on any of the band's albums.

Fairport Convention: Discography 1968 - 1971 + Meet On The Ledge (2CD Compilation) On Urban Aspirines HERE

Klaus Nomi: Klaus Nomi 1981 + Simple Man 1982

                 

 

Klaus Sperber (January 24, 1944 – August 6, 1983), known professionally as Klaus Nomi, was a German countertenor and baritone noted for his wide vocal range and an unusual, otherworldly

stage persona. He was born Klaus Sperber in Immenstadt, Bavaria, Germany in 1944, but moved to New York in the mid-'70s, working as a pastry chef and nightclub singer. One of his sets impressed David Bowie, and Nomi soon found himself backing the star on Saturday Night Live. He was ne of the first prominent persons to die of AIDS, Klaus Nomi mixed rock and disco stylings with a classical and operatic repertoire.
                                      

In the 1970s, Nomi immersed himself in the East Village art scene. He was known for his bizarre and visionary theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized

signature hairdo that flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classical opera to post-punk covers of 1960s pop standards like Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes". In October 1978, he took the artistic name "NOMI", initially as a mononym before rendering it as "Nomi" and adopting it as a last name. It stood as an anagram for "omni" ("all" or "every"), after the then-newly released science fiction magazine Omni. 
                     

In 1977, Nomi appeared in a satirical camp production of Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold at Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theater Company as the Rheinmaidens and the Wood Bird. He began touring Europe and the U.S. as a cabaret act and signed to RCA in 1980. At the New Wave Vaudeville show Nomi met

Kristian Hoffman, a songwriter for the Mumps. Anya Phillips, then manager of James Chance and the Contortions, suggested Nomi and Hoffman form a band. Hoffman became Nomi's de facto musical director, assembling a band that included Page Wood from another New Wave vaudeville act, Come On, and Joe Katz, who was concurrently in The Student Teachers, the Accidents, and The Mumps. His first single was a cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," and his 1982 debut album included compositions from Chubby Checker alongside Charles Camille Saint-Saëns. 
                         

Nomi played a supporting role as a Nazi official in Anders Grafstrom's 1980 underground film The Long Island Four. The 1981 rock documentary film Urgh! A Music War features Nomi's live

performance of "Total Eclipse". His performance of "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" was used for the closing credits. In the liner notes of Nomi's 1981 self-titled record, 666 Fifth Avenue was listed as the contact address. He released his second album, Simple Man, in November 1982. He also collaborated with producer Man Parrish, appearing on Parrish's 1982 album Man Parrish as a backup vocalist on the track "Six Simple Synthesizers".
                             

In the last several months of his life, Nomi changed his focus to operatic pieces and adopted a Baroque era operatic outfit complete with full collar as his typical onstage attire. The collar helped

cover the outbreaks of Kaposi's sarcoma on his neck, one of the numerous AIDS-related diseases Nomi developed toward the end of his life. Nomi's body started to deteriorate rapidly in 1982. By the spring of 1983 his immune system was destroyed and he was diagnosed with AIDS. Nomi was admitted to the infectious disease ward of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Most of Nomi's friends were afraid to visit him because no one knew how the virus spread at that point. Nomi died on August 6, 1983, as a result of complications from AIDS. 
                           

                               
He was one of the earliest known figures from the arts community to die from the illness. Nomi's close

friend Joey Arias was executor of his estate. Nomi's ashes were scattered in New York City. Filmmaker Andrew Horn and writer Jim Fouratt consider Nomi an important part of the 1980s East Village scene, which was a hotbed of development for punk rock music, the visual arts, and the avant-garde. Although Nomi's work had not yet met with national commercial success at the time of his death, he garnered a cult following, mainly in New York and in France.

Klaus Nomi: The Collection 1991 On Urban Aspirines HERE

Various: New Wave Angels

 

This is not a compilation made by a record label. This sampler is made by Kostas of Urban Aspirines and

it's not available in the music stores. I tried to do my best and I spended many many hours and days of hard work. If you like it, you can download it, but don't send me stupid comments as: "you didn't put this band or, you forgot this other band". More than 100 names are included in these 4 Compilations. This is "The Santa Aspirines" gift for the new year. My best wishes for Happy New Year 2026.
                                   

New wave is a music genre that encompasses pop-oriented styles that emerged in the mid- to late 1970s as a lighter and more melodic "broadening of punk culture". The term new wave initially held distinct

regional differences between the United States and United Kingdom. In the US, "new wave" had originally been used by music critics to label New York punk bands during the early-to mid 1970s. The term was later adopted by Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who launched the "Don't Call It Punk" campaign in October 1977 to replace "punk" with "new wave". In the UK, new wave was less rooted in punk and had a more diverse definition. Over time, the genre became a catch-all for several musical styles that emerged after the initial popularity of punk rock, such as synth-pop, alternative dance and post-punk.

Baby Woodrose: Studio Albums 2001 - 2016

 

Danish rock band Baby Woodrose was formed in 2001 by Uffe Lorenzen, later known under the

alias Lorenzo Woodrose. Started as a solo project and later evolved into a band. Some records are solo recordings and some are recorded with different line-ups of musicians.
Baby Woodrose is a rock band formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2001. They take their name from the Argyreia nervosa, a plant commonly known as Hawaiian baby woodrose, which can be used for hallucinogenic effects and whose seeds are known to have psychotropic effects on those who eat them. 
                               

Baby Woodrose was started in 2001 by Uffe Lorenzen, later known under the alias Lorenzo Woodrose.

Initially Baby Woodrose was a personal side-project for Lorenzo Woodrose, who was still drummer and songwriter in On Trial then. Lorenzo recorded Baby Woodrose's first album Blows Your Mind by himself on Pan Records (re-released by Bad Afro in 2003). Later on he decided to take the project to the next level and contacted 'The Moody Guru' (Riky Woodrose, bassist) and 'Fuzz Daddy' (Rocco Woodrose, drummer).
                          

As a power trio they recorded several more albums, the first of which was Money for Soul, released on

Bad Afro in 2003.  Following the quick success of Baby Woodrose, Lorenzo quit On Trial in 2003, after 17 years in the band. They released a live record of their performance on Gutter Island Garage Rock Festival, Live at Gutter Island later in 2003. In 2004,  they were nominated for the Danish Music Awards in 2004, which they didn't win however. They also released Dropout!, which was an album of cover songs by other artists, such as The Savages and 13th Floor Elevators in 2004.
                           

2006 saw the release of the follow-up studio album with the band's own songs, after their breakthrough. The album Love Comes Down was released on Playground Music Scandinavia, as the only

collaboration between Baby Woodrose and a larger record label (Lorenzo later bought the master tapes back, to re-release Love Comes Down on Bad Afro). In 2012 the album Third Eye Surgery was released, displaying a more space rock type sound from the band, which was well received among critics and fans. Baby Woodrose released Freedom, the group's eleventh full-length, on September 16, 2016. Freedom displays a more politically outright Baby Woodrose with a powerful, distorted rock sound in the veins of Third Eye Surgery (2012). 
                                  

Baby Woodrose announced a break from live concerts from the summer 2016. Since then Lorenzo

Woodrose has released a new solo album, Galmandsværk (Bad Afro, 2017) under his own name, Uffe Lorenzen, which he tours with. Some years after joining, Moody Guru and Fuzz Daddy both left Baby Woodrose. Kåre Joenson replaced Moody Guru on the bass, and for some time, Johan Lei-Gellett replaced Fuzz Daddy on drums with Adam Olsson joining on guitar. Johan Lei-Gellett and Adam Olsson (both of the surf band, The Good The Bad) were later replaced by Geronimo (drums) and Yobo (guitar), resulting in the most stable lineup in later years.
                                  

01.  BABY WOODROSE - BLOWS YOUR MIND! 2002

                        

Blows Your Mind is the classic debut album by Baby Woodrose originally released in 2001 on main man

Lorenzo Woodrose own label Pan Records. Lorenzo wrote the songs and played all the instruments himself and although the sound is more lo-fi than usual on a Baby Woodrose album the songs are among the best he ever wrote.
The artwork by Malleus has caused controversy recently. The printer in Germany denied to print the sleeve due to the fact that they found it to be too offensive!

02.  BABY WOODROSE - MONEY FOR SOUL 2003

                                       

Alot of the album reminds me of the real 60's retro stuff that you would hear on Monster Magnet's 'Dopes to Infinity'...complete with keyboards, handclaps and tremelo effects on the guitars. The two guitars

throught the mix on this album seem to play off of each other nicely and overall is very impressive playing. If you are into Dopes to Infinity... get this one. If you like retro guitar garage stuff you might like it as well. Baby Woodrose have a little of everything... heavy fuzz-psychedelia... the works!
The songs are pretty simple, but they just have feeling, something that many bands these days are just lacking big time. This also is something that you can hardly put into words, where the feeling lies, just when you hear the songs, they have it, it's that simple!

03.  BABY WOODROSE - DROPOUT! 2004

                            

Some of the liner notes explains the origins of the album: ”As much as we love playing a few of our

favourite songs by obscure sixties garage bands when we play live, we also think our albums should reflect the creativity of our own originals, so the four covers we did when we recorded our Money For Soul album in October 2002, quickly ended up collecting dust in the Bad Afro vaults. We also recorded six more about a year later while doing some demos for our next album and eventually agreed to collect all those covers on this fine little release”.

04.  BABY WOODROSE - LOVE COMES DOWN 2006

                            

This album is considered by many as their 'lost album' as it was only ever released in Scandinavia. Lorenzo Woodrose (guitar and vocals), Fuzz Daddy (drums) and The Moody Guru (bass) have created a swirling, epic vibe that takes in the '60s at its soulful best and blends it up with some garage rock  There's

a bunch of keyboards and female backing vocals fleshing out the sound and Woodrose's vocal has never been more soulful and songs like "No Other Girl" and "Growing Younger" are among the most commercial he's recorded, with the latter embellished by striking 12-string guitar. It's great garage pop, with the exception of the closing title track "Love Comes Down" which draws a lysergic chalk outline around a body and hangs around at the scene of the crime for five minutes. It has a tremendous trippy feel and it's a song that merits immersion at high volume.

05.  BABY WOODROSE - CHASING RAINBOWS 2007

                               

Lorenzo Woodrose is back with another Baby Woodrose creation. This album takes inspiration from the

Dragon Tears project and mixes it with a more psychedelic flavour of Lorenzo’s influences from the late 60’s with some rock and roll. Think Chocolate watch Band, Strawberry Alarm Clock.. Some cool special guests including Tømmerclaus, Morton Aron, a Indian musician, and others are featured… Begins with the great psych-pop number Someone to Love..The end comes with madness of your own Making, a laid back number with acoustic guitar and reminds me of some of the psych stuff of Bevis Frond. This is a

fantastic album & something completely different from what the band has made before.. dig it baby…
Baby Woodrose’s music licks from the same lysergic sugar cube as the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Guitar strings are bent into brilliant splashes of colorful sound, while the children of Aquarius stand swaying, entranced, palms turned upward, faces to the sky! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!

06.  BABY WOODROSE - BABY WOODROSE -2009

                                 

The album presents a unique mix of melancholy, psychedelia, and grunginess. It has a very airy sound and there isn’t a single song that isn’t tinged with melancholy. Still, like Woodrose says, its punchiness comes

from more upbeat tracks like the KINKS-esque “No Mas” and “Take It.” The album also has a royal ton of psychedelic influence. The penultimate track on the album, “Scorpio,” is a good deal more brooding than the rest of the album’s material, being mostly an acoustic affair with some atmospheric keyboards in the background. The final track, “Secret Of The Twisted Flower,” is a full-out fuzzfest overflowing with trippy effects and lengthy sections of feedback.

08.  BABY WOODROSE - THIRD EYE SURGERY 2012

                       

The Danish wonder comes up trumps again with the nine track genius of 'Third Eye Surgery'. Like all Baby Woodrose albums, a different feel engulfs the sounds and this time, the whirl of space rock psychedelic fuzz wafts through the air like a joss stick in a hippy's boudoir, all encompassed in a slight

Eastern setting. Although the trippy vibe is more than evident, Baby Woodrose never fully engulf you and make you feel like you're not on the same psychedelic trip, they merely wrap an arm around you and paint shades of mellow that take you exactly where you want to go. There is darkness on 'Third Eye Surgery' but there is also light, and that's the kind of emotional blend that breathes a lot of life into the nine songs. And of course it's the great musicianship as well as Lorenzo Woodrose's unmistakeable voice and his excellent songwriting talents that ensure that 'Third Eye Surgery' is definitely one of the psychedelic highlights in 2012"

09.  BABY WOODROSE - FREEDOM 2016

                        

With empowering tracks like “21st Century Slave“, “Open Doors“, and “Red The Signpost“, the theme of self-liberation ripples throughout every iota of this record. The title track “Freedom“, usually associated

with the improvised 1969 Woodstock version from Richie Havens, is actually a much older song, known as a gospel tune or a negro spiritual or “slave song”. These songs exude the very equivocal elements that contribute to first freeing one’s mind and then allowing their physical body to follow and one only need to look to the lyrics of the song “Mantra” for their own personal, well, mantra or life philosophy when it comes to this record: “I can’t stop..I can never get enough”. Indeed…Can you?.
